Review – A Way From Heart to Heart by Helena Fairfax

A story of friendship, loss, and the human heart’s enduring capacity for love…

After the death of her husband in Afghanistan, Kate Hemingway’s world collapses around her. Her free time is spent with a charity for teenage girls, helping them mend their broken lives – which is ironic, since her own life is fractured beyond repair.

Reserved, upper-class journalist Paul Farrell is everything Kate and her teenage charges aren’t. But when Paul agrees to help Kate with her charity, he makes a stunning revelation that changes everything, and leaves Kate torn.

Can she risk her son’s happiness as well as her own?

About the Author

Helena Fairfax was born in Uganda and came to England as a child. She’s grown used to the cold now, and these days she lives in an old Victorian mill town in Yorkshire. After many years working in factories and dark, satanic mills, Helena began writing full-time. Her first novel, The Silk Romance, was a contender for the RNA’s New Writers’ Scheme Award and a runner-up in the Global Ebook Awards, and her work in progress has been shortlisted for the Exeter Novel Prize 2015. When not writing, she walks the Yorkshire moors every day with her rescue dog, and finds this wild landscape the perfect place to dream up her stories.

I could not put this down, which is irritating on your lunch break when you have to go back to work! Helena has created some incredibly interesting characters, with many layers that are peeled off as you read. The story of Kate and Paul, as well as many other characters, is a heartwarming and tender one. Kate is fragile and for a vast variety of reasons, and Paul is determined to piece her back together. It was a very touching journey, both with the main characters and the girls of At Home. I definitely recommend this book, if you love a story of triumphs.
